THE BURROW
BUILD THE DEN

FUCHSBAU.ROCKS is not a festival. It's a fox den. Three days of post-punk, hardcore techno, noise, performance and forest installations — built by 400 volunteers, owned by nobody, remembered by everybody. No headliners. No VIP. Only mud.

01 — About the den

WE ARE THE FOXES WHO STAYED IN THE WOODS

Fuchsbau — German for “fox den”. Since 2014 we turn a former clay pit forest near Hannover into a temporary autonomous zone for loud music and radical art. Started by 11 friends with a generator and a punk band. Now: a 400-strong collective, a year-round venue, and Germany’s most stubbornly independent festival.

Why .rocks?

Because we do. Guitars, gabber, concrete poetry at 3AM, brass bands in a ditch. Fuchsbau.rocks is our digital burrow: tickets, line-up drops, open calls, building diaries and survival guides. No algorithms. No ads. Just den news.

Our 3 laws

🦊 No stars

All acts get same fee, same food, same mud. Alphabetical line-up. Discover, don’t consume.

🌲 Leave it wilder

Reusable cups, compost toilets, solar arrays, rewilding zone. 92% waste-free in 2025.

🔥 Everyone builds

Visitors do 2h site shift. Build, cook, decorate, care. You are not a customer.

MANIFESTO IN 20 SECONDS

“Commercial festivals sell you escape. We build return. Return to forest, to bodies, to noise that means something. Come with boots, leave with family. If you need VIP, you’re in the wrong woods.” — Den Plenum, 2025
